The Planet Waves Circuit Breaker Momentary plug has fail-safe operation to save your equipment from loud pops and squeals when you change guitars with a live amp.

When the button is pushed, the cable shorts while remaining plugged into your guitar, making on-stage guitar changes a snap, and eliminating any chance of sound bursts. Once the cable is shorted, remove the cable from the guitar being used and plug the cable into the next instrument. When you're plugged in and ready to go, release the button to reactivate sound..

D'Addario Circuit Breaker cables utilize ultra-pure, oxygen-free copper conductors for low capacitance and pure tone. Solderless plugs ensure a solid connection, and are easy to fix on the gig with a simple cutter and screwdriver. Two layers of shielding provide 100% coverage for superior insulation and noise rejection, making this the ultimate, high-performance cable.

I'm still liking my old Switchcraft 1/4" TS shorting plugs just unplug em.
This little button thing takes some getting used to still not sure if I like it, it is damn well built I will say that!

"Not as great as I hoped"

What is your opinion of this product?

The cable is very stiff, tangles easily, and doesn't disentangle without a fight. The switch is effective, but there are two problems: a quick pop when the switch is engaged and disengaged, and the "momentary" nature of the switch means it's humming like crazy when I set down the cable when it's unplugged. I really need a kill switch that stays killed when I let it go.

Looks good, not tried in action yet.

What is your opinion of this product?

I play fiddle and mandolin, both with jacks, so I bought this to make changes easy. The short-circuit button is on the right-angle connector, which makes it a little difficult to remove from the instrument - I'm still experimenting with finding the best grip. I haven't had an opportunity to try this at a gig yet, but I tested it in my home studio and had no problems with the sound.

Very good cable

What is your opinion of this product?

Very sturdy build quality, sounds great for a longish cable. The circuit breaker works well and is handy. The cable itself is rather stiff bunches and tangles easily. Will probably last and aside from the tangling issues it's a very good stage tool.
